I looked up chess pie on Wikipedia. Then I learned a thing called vinegar pie exists. I'm from the southern southern southern south with a side of redneck and I have never tasted either one of these things. Thank God.

and banning hard-side or roller bag carry ons. They "fit", but they don't compress like duffel bags and what not do, so there's a hard limit on the number of bags. And god forbid someone put theirs in wrong and take up MORE space. I was on an ATL>PDX flight last summer and I had a duffel; they made everyone with…

Damn. Somebody get that man a bandaid. Maybe one of those useless little round ones.

The problem is not so much with the fat, but all the shit that is usually consumed along with the fat. If people ate healthy fats and lots of vegetables, it would be fine; but what ends up happening is that burger has a giant white-bread bun and is consumed with chips/fries and a giant soda. The fried chicken is…

skim milk is DISGUSTING.

I would be like... MY DRESS IS PRETTY. *silent, intense glare of death until subject is changed*

Eyerolling so hard at all the people who think Doctor of Philosophy means you are getting a philosophy degree. If you think that's what that means, you should probably not comment on this article.

[is saying this from the midst of…

I had a principal once with a doctorate in school psychology. She had never actually been a classroom teacher and did not write a dissertation. But we had to call her Dr.

In the last school district I taught, the district office was full of Dr. So and Sos who got their Ed.D. online in 1-2 years and did an "action research" project instead of a dissertation. With the pay scale bump and everything. Instead of an actual Ph.D. with original research and a dissertation. Getting a PhD in…

Please, come and get a music degree if you feel it is so easy.

whuuuut. NO CEREAL FOR YOU

It's a huge relief.

I'd rather wear a bikini than try to wrestle a one-piece over my belly!

I'm just like, "She's growing AN ENTIRE OTHER HUMAN BEING. What the fuck do you expect her to look like? Smaller?"
